Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Progestins can be used to control uterine bleeding and cause the uterine endometrium to shed.

Thrombolytics convert plasminogen to the enzyme plasmin, which breaks down fibrin clots, fibrinogen, and other plasma proteins. These products are used for lysis (dissolving) of thrombi.
